LYRICS LAST RIDE OF THE DAY:
We live in every moment but this one
Why don't we recognise the faces loving us so
What's God if not the spark that started life
Smile of a stranger
Sweet music, starry skies
Wonder, mystery, wherever my road goes
Early wake-ups in a moving home
scent of fresh-mown grass in the morning sun
Open theme park gates waiting for
Riding the day, every day into sunset
Finding the way back home
Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
the beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high
It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment the dawn of humanity
The last ride of the day
Wake up, dead boy
Enter adventureland
Tricksters, magicians will show you all that's real
Careless jugglers, snake charmers by your trail
Magic of a moment
Abracadabra

WOW, thank you so much. Yesterday Floor, and now this. What awesome Eastern Eggs.🤗🥰😊
Got mine, can’t wait ❤️
Oh we surely are!! Can't wait for it
Chomping at the bit to take a ride to the Inn!
I could not possibly be more ready
Missing this!
Missing you!
Miss you too
Miss you too.
And we miss you! ❤
Missing you! Can't wait to have you guys back in Argentina!
I love it when Floor walks up to Tuomas and he points to the audience, as if he's saying: look at this, we live for this! The expression of joy in their faces is amazing.
So true. What a great Moment
IKR, Involvement is one such thing that makes a great performance. I'm not sure i have seen many bands with this commitment, & passion while performing. And don't get me started on Floor's charisma. It's completely off the charts. One of the greatest for sure.
I think they are laughing at that funny guy :)
They always seem so happy to simply have people appreciate their random selection of noises. Lovely
I have made a sort of tradition to play this in the ambulance when we are cleared to return to the station for end of shift.
Que incrível, essa música é libertadora. Floor é muito foda.
Doing the lord’s work.❤
Maybe inappropriate to say. Better to play it with a patient inside
@@rayamaranth q oi coisa rruim sai sai pra la minha. Amiga perseguidora da zona jogando terra 🌎 na minha cara eu cheio de mecha branca na baba alguma pivete digamos assim eu nao gosto de ospital nao mas tao sempre me a cahando de vez eguando charlatao do meu irmao é metido a doutor mas comi o churrasco dos bandido do morro é procura me ameassar com a pulisia da minha sidade até mas tuve ele nem mora na mesma
If I'm in there in the back Turn it up
Floor's smile while performing is everything. You can tell she lives for this. ❤️
Yep. It's awesome to see a band really enjoying performing for a crowd. Way too many people seem to be focusing on hitting their mark or whatever vs actually enjoying doing the show.
The powerful feedback makes Floor Jansen glow like a hot O:f/WN:h star!
True to that ✌🏼
Everytime I hear Floor shouting "Let's get ready for the last ride.." I feel I'm about to become a part of something epic
You’re goddamn right
These people genuinely like each other. It shows and you can hear it through their music.
floor igual canta muy bien pero no hay como tarja turunem
This band's members know they've scored the crowd. Look at those faces. All of them!!
Never a sad face in a Nightwish gig.
It was in our country. We all love Nightwish..:)
WELL deserved!
@@jirimikes8806 , Czech Republic. Great country.
@@jirimikes8806 Then you all certainly had a blessing!
I have to admit, I'm 60. All my life I have listened to American music, but I am very much into Fantasy and everything that comes with it. I have been listening to Nightwish and I found my all time favorite band. The rock I have been listening to never takes you on a journey. If I close my eyes and listen to this fantastic band, I always go on a wonderful journey with them. The songs have meaning to them. I just had to say something about this amazing band. THANK YOU, One day you might come to my town, Las Vegas.
I wish it for you too!!
you should try other symphonic or pagan metal groups also, most of them pretty magical feels like as if you're on a journey
I'm 67 and I recently started to listen to music from the Netherlands and other European bands, boy have I been missing out.
I hope to see Nightwish in LA in May 22
@@davidamadeo4674 I already bought my ticket for LA may 20th, 2022!!!!
Harder to light a candle, easier to curse the dark instead. This hits hard for me. One of the realist lyrics ever written.
This woman has enough charisma for an entire army!
The Nightwish Army!
That's for damn sure.
She sure does. The one thing Anette didn't have, but she was an amazing singer.
@Tw Wolf Wolf Floor is a very tall woman! She commands the stage & absorbs the audience for more than 2 reasons. I could watch her all day
Tuomas´s smile is the best thing in the whole world
Tell me about it. His head banging means he is alive, he is well and he is happy.
I know. Love to see a BIG CHANGE.🖤
Last time I had a favorite band, I was 14. I spent most of my life thinking that having a "favorite band" was stupid, and that phase of my life was behind me. 30 years later, Nightwish has proven me wrong, and Floor is absolutely out of this world. Amazing band.
They are pretty badass. I've always been one who likes a lot of stuff, but is hardcore about only a few. The most recent was dkm like 18yrs ago. Then discovered nightwish like 6ish or so and they immediately got added to the must play list. I've always dug female vocalists, but floor takes it to another level.
i wish i would have found Nightwish decades ago but i only found them last year. i'm 63 this month lived in USA last 32 years without visiting my home Country Finland. how much easier life would have been listening them when life got to be overwhelming. i have never been in concert, my family has always been first before anything else but my kids are all grown up now. iv'e lived last 3 years in assisted living facility but decided to go back to work and i'm moving out to live in van and save some money to see NIghtwish live concert. Nightwish gave me strength to re organize my life and i have goal to aim for!
I wish you to reach your goal! Seeing them live is really awesome...
I hope everything works out sir
Good on you Bro - brilliant decision.
damn, Floor always got the best outfit.
Tarja did too back in the day
Everyone: What is the best Nightwish song? Me: The one I'm listening to.
That's always my answer as well.
FACT
FAX BRO. This is my favorite song of all time, PERIOD
all.
Hell shudder before the beautiful is a mixture of this song, dark chest of wonders, and storytime, making what i consider the best nightwish song
Never heard of this band or singer ever until yesterday... and I've been watching and listening to so many of their songs and live shows since. Amazing, she is one of the most powerful singers out there.
I did not know about nightwish until January 2007 and I been a fan since.
welcome to the show!
You've been hiding under a rock until now, right?
@@Tattoonation88 yes and without internet connection so couldn’t listen to any music…
This is normally not my type of metal, but my god is Floor ever incredible. What an amazing voice and stage presence!
the only band in the world that i refuse to die before seeing live. a collection of gods and godesses
Indeed
I was lucky to have seen them for "Endless forms most Beautiful "! Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina !
@@TFluck-hr2gu Me too! Saw them for the Endless tour and the Decades tour! So glad they came to Charlotte twice!!
I have seen Nightwish abaut 20 times since 2004, and i can assure that you roll in your grave if you don´t see them live.
Got extremely lucky. Just happened to be working remote in Reno (From Shreveport). Spent 14hrs driving and updating a helicopter around Sonoma. Had a big steak afterward and was headed to the motel to crash when the radio station announced a Nightwish, Delain, Sonata Arctica concert less than 3 miles from the motel. Should have stopped by the casinos afterwards. The Metal Gods were smiling down on me.
I wanna see Nightwish having fun in the stage again for the new album, but knowing Marko will not be there breaks my heart 😞💔
Y bro..marko leave nightwish?
@@adikkakak9629 yes, in the beginning of 2021 for mental health problems
Mine too. Wish him all the best.
@@adikkakak9629 he had really bad depression and anxiety, so he took a break. He may come back, he may not, we don’t really know yet.
Let's hope he takes care of himself, gets better , then comes back at some point because he has had a 20 year run with the band and he is a wonderful guitar player and great singer!
Thank You so much. My neighbors are listening to good music again. Whether they want to or not... ;-)))
My mother was a big fan of Nightwish and in particular of Floor. Sadly she died last year after fighting cancer for over 17 years. This was one of the songs we played at her funeral as we deemed it the most fitting. Sadly i did want to take her to a Nightwish concert but after corona delayed the tour twice, by november 2022 when they finally did perform in the Netherlands again, she was no longer in a state to actually visit anymore.
Really love Marko's taste in fashion. 😁
Woo Hoo , Marko rocking a kilt 🤗🤘👍🇬🇧
@@jeffbowden8367 a black leather kilt.
Nothing beats his pilot's helmet for sure
This song needs more attention.
When Floor is gazing out at the crowd at 3:20, so much love there. I've been to a lot of concerts (not a lot of Nightwish concerts), and never seen this level of appreciation and gratitude towards the fans. We love them, and they take it in and radiate it back, and it's one big shared experience of love and joy. The world needs a lot more of that these days.
"It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead" -- basically a line about how it's easier to complain about a situation as opposed to taking action to change it. This line has been with me for weeks now, since I first discovered this band. I don't normally get drawn into lyrical analysis of my bands but this is some poignant stuff that is literally changing my life.
Was about to comment on that line myself, glad i saw your post beforehand, could not agree more, cheers
stuck with me since the original
Way too many concerts and various other things have pretty much wrecked my "fine" hearing. Unless I have em in front of me I have a hard time picking out the actual lyrics, but they are still able to convey the whole feel of the song just through the music and tone. I get maybe 1 verse out of 4 and they still blow me away. And IMHO, it's a mark of greatness when your live stuff sounds better than the studio.
Some of the best Nightwish lyrics. I especially like the line "It is hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead."
that just made me tear up...
Happy days
Yes, what a wonderful line... My favorite too... 🤘🤘
My favorite NW song and album. I don't think they will ever top it.
phantom of the opera
Czech republic loves you ♥️ 🇨🇿 !
The classic Nightwish, we all love...
She's the ultimate performer, she's unbelievably talented, engaging, mesmerizing, a true artist and performer and seems like such a great person overall.
This band's members know they've scored the crowd. Look at those faces. All of them!!
This is metal group, who is smiling on stage. Floor such incredible stunning.
They are having the time of their lives.
When you let the vocals and the metal mix, you get magic. This is magic.
Congrats to everyone who saw this live. Incredible energy
Energy + Power = Nightwish
+ emotion + magic + talent
sound more like Sabaton :D (+ story)
Energy + Power (+Demonish) = Nightwish *
Thank you, Nightwish, for bringing joy to this world!
This is a master piece! Floor is just one of my favourit vocal singer!
That was the place where Nightwish was crowned again as the TOP SYMPHONIC METAL BAND, with Floor Jansen as the Empress of all Metal! \m/
The energy of this song hypes me up everytime
Hey Nightwish, Australia is open! Sport events, ballet, concerts. No restriction, full crowds. LET’S GO!!!!
Смотрю на Туомаса и думаю " какой же он счастливый ". Особенно на моменте, где он Флора показывает народ типа говоря " Вот ради чего я пошёл дальше". И действительно, он бы мог всё бросить и исчезнуть в никуда после столького негатива, окружающих его. Я очень рад и благодарен, что он не сдавался и пошёл дальше. Спасибо за это Вам, Маэстро. Спасибо за Ваши потрясающие альбомы, за то что Вы подарили мне самые лучшие времена с вашими песнями. Они лучшие успокоительные, чем всякие валерьянки или антидепрессанты.
Согласен
Он Заслуживает уважения.
You know what really makes me sad.... 1. 14m subs.... Like SERIOUSLY.... This is single handedly the best band with literally the most powerful and amazing singers in the entire world ❤️
True but Metal is, almost everywhere in the world except some places in europe and south america far from mainstream. Heavy music does not reach radio stations. Same with harstyle dance music or techno, hardhouse etc. Nightwish elan is softer and has +70million views, they should play this some more at media
3:57 Seeing Tuomas and Floor happy is priceless
The existence of Tuomas and the music he creates make me grateful to be human and live in this day and age where I can appreciate it. Makes me aware of how humanity is capable of such wonderful things
Same for me, Tuomas forever and ever ♥️
Wow... nicely said!
I'll probably never meet the guy, but his music helped me get through a very hard time in my life. This song and the Imaginaerum album came out that year. It still makes me smile to hear it.
for me this is the best performance in concert about " last ride of the day" incredible , and the people were crazy with this song
For sure, Floor's facial expression at 0:31 just says it all. She's pumped for this song and rallying up the crowd, not to mention when she start's headbanging. Epic stuff!
When you see the smiles on the faces of the band , enjoying it as much as the crowd then it's on a different level..
This is pure masterpiece.
Yes , specially if you know the movie from where is the music.
Wishmasterpiece😉
The whole Imaginaerum album is.
So much joy that even Kai Hahto was smiling. Thanks to the crowd for being so AWSOME 🤘😎❤
Kai is one of the most feared pirates and drummers, with Jukka being his right hand man and also drummer
As much as I'm going to miss Marco, first time seeing them live this year and he won't be there. Regardless all I can say to him is take your time! Would rather never ever see you perform knowing you are well in yourself than have you on stage and tortured inside! Best wishes and best of luck Marco! Thankyou for sharing your passion and talent with us all!
How they look at each other 🖤 like they ALL genuinely love giving their soul to the crowd, over and over again. Makes me fking cry of happiness.

The synergy with Floor is amazing 😍
I was there, what a ride! I still feel the crowd enjoying every second of your amazing performance. Can't wait to see you live again. 🤟 And thank you for 1 sec shot with me 😍😁
I was there too! I can't wait for festivals to be a thing again!
Perfect!! Floor The Queen Metal !!
Kai at 3:46 absolutely love that expression. They're truly a band, like a fellowship.
Lovely to see the guys enjoying themselves on stage.
Awesome 👌 greetings from Vladivostok
Tengo 50 años ,soy de México y me encanta esta banda . Gracias por tan excelentes presentaciones los admiro mucho ❤️😊🌻
Such an incredible high. Tuomas captured it perfectly.
Long life nightwish ♡
I see new upload by Nightwish, I click like even before listening to it. Never failed.
It keeps on getting better and better every live and every album.
Without a doubt it's one of my favorite songs, I love Floor's energy, it's the one I've been watching the most lately in the videos, his voice and his talent is unique, Nightwish has magic, it's a great band, with musicians who put all their power into stage, they are all geniuses, but my favorite has always been Emppu with his friendliness and charisma.
Floor is great no doubt about it, but everytime I hear Nightwish song's I can't ignore how good Marco is
I like all of the top symphonic metal bands. But that woman is a force of nature. I never get bored of the energy, subtlety, skill and sheer enjoyment Floor brings to millions of people.
That voice ....incredible
I must say, Floor is really amazing singer and this song is so energetic with her voice! Love it, really feel the energy even from the video.
Same here.
This is awesome. I especially noticed Kai, you don't see so much of him, his face, on Nightwish videos. What a smile he gave. And later on sweat was flying from him when he was banging mercilessly on those drums. But all in all a happy performance from the whole band with happy faces! Not to mention the audiece. Hope this one gets plenty of reactions!
This is still one of my favourite Nightwish songs but it was also one of the hardest songs to cover. The vocal range of this is amazing! I'm in awe everytime I hear it ❤️
Zaplaší všechny chmury,strasti i bolest,tohle je balzám pro duši.❤️
I love how they all seem to be having a blast - even those without microphones are singing along. =)
Thanks, I thought I saw songs where members who weren't Mike's up were singing but that didn't make sense to me because I've never noticed another band doing that.
OHH-EMM-GEE!!! How have I not heard this one before??? That's it, I'm going through the entire ANTHOLOGY of Nightwish! Thus far, I've not heard a single song that's either: "Eh, fair" or just "so-so". Seems to me, every one of them have been pretty phenomenal if not EPIC! Thank you Nightwish for not only putting a smile on my face, but a time or two - - a genuine tear in my eye! GOD BLESS YOU ALL on this Easter from the U.S.!
Such joy on their faces, can't be a better high than seeing all those fans loving what you're doing so much.
Another powerful performance. Energy runs through the monitor, i can't imagine the magic of being there live!
The band is a legend, floor is the queen. The best vocal on earth, both angel and demon. Best live show, best production. Thankyou.
Man, the energy of this live version is unspeakable!
I always am energized by how involved the audience is so involved is!
The most incredible talented musicians put together ❤️. Never stop creating, you all have the magic touch, Amen. Thank you.!
Loved how all the ladies rocked out in the front rows!
Funny you brought this up. One thing I find fascinating is the fact that the percentage of women at Nightwish concerts seem to be much higher than at the average metal concerts. I'm an old dude (53), but in my days you didn't see many girls at hard rock gigs. Sure, they were there, but maybe just one out of fifteen or so. It could very well be that all those front ladies within this genre of music in the last 20 years or so, created a whole new following in the hard rock and metal scene. And this leads to more women that pick up an instrument and join rock bands. There are more women in music in general than ever before. So many new and inspiring young musicians are female. In 2020 more guitars have been sold than in any year ever before and more than half of the acoustic guitars that's been sold last year were bought by females. I think this a very welcome and amazing progression. And I'm not saying, or even trying to imply that this trend is all because of Nightwish, but I'm pretty sure that bands like Nightwish and Epica, but also Lizzy Hale and off course many others, including female guitar players like Nita Strauss or Lari Basilio..., they all have or are very strong roll models for young girls to pick up an instrument and to become a part of the rock scene, much more than it used to be in the days when it seemed like only guys liked metal or progressive rock and girls liked pop diva's and boy bands. The times they are a changing. And I love it!!! And so many women love Nightwish. Almost every girl I know loves Nightwish. And I'm not into any scene, so it's not like I only hang around with metal or prog lovers. It's odd. This whole story is basically me trying to understand why there are so many women (and not only young women) who love these genres of music. This used to be so different in the old days.
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🚩
Fact!
I love that the live version actually sounds and feels better than the studio recording. Coworker introduced you to me recently, and have been listening non-stop ;)
Love the camaraderie between all the band members. They have been doing this a long time and still bring the energy! Floor leading, and Empu appreciating their audiences.
floor jansen have such a beautiful voice!!! thanks for that video ❤
Oh Marko!! Missing him already! 😔
It won't be the same without him.
God, how much happiness is on their faces when they sing. I love this epic band, every song lights up my soul. God bless you.Many thanks to you here from Romania
❤you guys, nightwish is in my soul
I was there and the concert was incredible!
Wow! what a great day it must have been for you. Hey Zuzana, Do you mind if I have a chat with you on WhatsApp? +1^4^4^5^4^6^5^3^5^9^9
Tam jsem byl! Parádní vystoupení. :) Vizovice - Czechia ! :)
takyyy:)) !
Absolutely excited to see Nightwish on my 59th birthday in San Francisco. 5/18/22 The Warfield. See you there!!!
A truly incredible band. The musicianship, creative song witing and performance put Nightwish way up there as one of the greats
The smile on their faces. Love it. Pure positive energy.
Просто восхитительно! Welcome to RUSSIA!
"Well in that case we have one last whipping to do" God bless you Floor. Epicness right there on that stage. 🙏😊👍❤️
No matter how good the new nightwish album might be i will still hear marcos voice in it. God i miss him!
YESSSS... MY FAVORITE SOOONG! 🤘🙂🤘 NIGHTWISH FOREVEEER!
Hard to say a word..Just an irresistable performance;)))🤘🏻
Floor Jansen é simplesmente maravilhosa!!!!!!!
This band has SO MANY music starved fans in the western half of the US and I'm one of them. I was 56 when I found them in November 2021 and have been fully converted since. I haven't heard everything but have loved everything I have heard.
18 months ago at the age of 56 I heard Nightwish and Floor for the first time... "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2015 and was blown away then and have been every day since. Phenomenal band 🙏😊👍❤️
I love seeing this. Everyone having such a great time and Tuomas smiling is absolutely phenomenal!
Beyond perfect to the point of magical or unexplainably good. This is it.
it's never too late to poke your head above the parapet and find out what is out there..in my case, through Dan Vasc, I have found Nightwish...a whole new universe of music and mayhem lies ahead..no declining old age for me anymore!! 🤩
I've never seen a band so damn happy in front of a crowd.
If you need to go to a battle, this song will take you there.
